Moana

Moana is Disney's live-action retelling of its animated film, directed by Thomas Kail. Catherine Lagaʻaia plays Moana, a brave teenager who answers the ocean's call and sails beyond her island's reef for the first time, joining forces with the shape-shifting demigod Maui, played by Dwayne Johnson, to lift a dangerous curse and restore her people's fortunes. Rena Owen, Frankie Adams and John Tui are also in the cast. Lin-Manuel Miranda and Johnson are among the producers, and Auliʻi Cravalho, who voiced Moana in the animated films, serves as an executive producer. It opened from 8 July 2026 in markets including Australia and France, and in US cinemas on 10 July.
